SUBJECT: Appeal, Denial of Extension, Tentative Tract Map
No. 36636, 10 Unit Condominium Conversion, 1134 -
llth Street, R3.
Introduction
This is an appeal from the Planning Commission's denial of a re-
quest £or extension of a Tentative Tract Map involving a condo-
minium conversion. Appeal is by the subdivider Paul Aras.
Background
On May 7, 1979 the Planning Commission approved a Tentative Tract
Map for conversion of an 10 unit apartment building at 1134 - 11th
Street to condominiums. Among the conditions imposed was approval
by the Rent Control Board and the installation of automatic se-
curity gates on the front garaging.
On March 17, 1980 the applicant requested an extension of the
Tentative Tract Map indicating that more than $20,000 had been
spent in preparation for the conversion. Following consideration
of the requested extension on April 7, 1980 the Planning Commission
denied the extension primarily on the basis that the applicant
had not made application to the Santa Monica Rent Control Board.
On April 14, 1980 the Planning Commission action was appealed to
the City Council.

Alternatives
The City Council may affirm, reverse or modify any action by
the Planning Commission in regard to a subdivision. In the
case of an appeal by the subdivider the Council is not required
to determine whether the appeal shall be considered but must
hear the matter and make a final determination.
An appeal is a public hearing and the tenants of the apartment
under consideration have been notified of the meeting.
Recommendation
In view of the applicant's failure to diligently pursue the
proposed conversion by application to the Rent Control Board
as required by the Planning Commission's tentative approval,
it is respectfully recommended that the appeal be denied and
the decision of the Commission affirmed.
